to attack a consulate is an act of war under anybody's interpretation of international law. it's an act of war. and when somebody commits an act of war against the united states, gens a u.s. ambassador, against our people -- against a u.s. ambassador, against our people, they need to know there is a commander in chief, or if he doesn't know because he's busy, somebody that will give the order to protect those that were put in that bad situation. our military needs to know that their commander cares. our military needs to know that they are not going to lay down their life for nothing. . this is not the kind of testimony we need. we want the truth. if this is the truth so be it. of course we heard from the doctors after the fall that, gee, it turns out this could be the kind of thing that would result in memory loss. and i'm glad she's well enough to get along. my late mother with a brain tumor had balance problems. we constantly had to be on alert for her falling, maybe tripping over a curb and hurting herself. breaks your heart when you see somebody bruised from falling. so

[video clip] >> be able to stop gun violence -- we will not be able to stop gun violence or any other senseless violence in the future. that is not an excuse to do nothing. the president said, it is worth it if we can save even one life. i think we can save a whole lot more lives than that. we can begin an endeavor that stops that culture in american society. it is not all because of bounds. -- guns. it may be what happened in wtown is a call to action madri. host: your thoughts? guest: i am operating on a model that silence means consent. we both do not agree with the legal

we must provide this emergency funding as we are allowed by law without the devastating slash and burn cuts elsewhere that this amendment would cause. the amendment before us would splash nearly $20 billion from discretionary spending this year alone, totally indiscriminant, unspecific, cutting the good and the bad, completely abdicating the responsibility of congress to determine where spending should or should not occur. to put this in perspective, this amendment contains a cut to regular discretionary spending that is about the size of the entire agriculture discretionary budget for the year. it's about the equivalent of eliminating all discretionary funding for the department of transportation or the full annual budgets of the coast guard and customs and border patrol combined. as written this amendment is an across the board d cut that holds no programs safe from harm, defense spending, which is already facing potentially devastating sequestration cuts is cut by another $10 billion, it would cut war funding by $1.6 billion, directly affecting our troops who are putting their lives
